One hundred years ago today, as Google pointed out, ten
thousand Black men and women held a silent march in New York City. They marched
in protest of the lynchings and violence heaped upon Blacks across America. The
women wore white representing innocence and the men wore black, mourning the
loss of lives and violence plaguing Blacks in America. While they did not chant
or speak or sing, they did carry banners, two of which were prominently
displayed: “Thou shalt Not Kill” and “Your Hands Are Full of Blood”. Slogans
just as appropriate today as they were 100 years ago.

Since its founding in 1916 the Birth Control League, whose
name changed to Planned Parenthood in the 1940s, has waged a birth and
population control war against women of color. In doing so, their organization
has created one of the greatest health care crises this nation has known. Black
women ten or more years after their abortion decision find themselves in a
fight for their lives battling breast cancer, the second most common cause of cancer death
among black women according to Sisters Network. When pregnant with their
“planned” children, the ones they want, the
CDC warns Black women may find themselves at greater risk for extreme
premature birth, the kind most babies do not survive (27 weeks or less). Yet the CDC has not
published the settled science information that revealsprevious
induced abortions are a risk factor for premature birth in subsequent pregnancies.

When visiting one of the Planned Parenthood surgical centers
located within two miles of their homes, Black women are exposed to medical
conditions that may result in infertility and death. Once inspected some of
those facilities, like the Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, are cited for failing to meet
recognized medical standards including washing hands and sterilizing the
instruments between procedures. Because of the stigma associated with abortion,
most women do not feel free to discuss the botched abortion that left them with
parts of the baby that had to be removed in a hospital emergency setting.
Moreover, some have been killed in a Planned Parenthood center due to poor
medical care such as Tonya Reaves who was left to bleed for more than five hours
before emergency care was sought. Too little. Too late.

There is no way to measure the numbers of women whose uteri
were perforated, bowels pulled out, or who experienced incomplete abortions. We
cannot measure the numbers of those who found themselves infected with STDs,
bacterial infections and the like because of their abortion decision. Those
numbers are not reported nor are they collected. What is known is that
thousands, if not millions of Black women have been injured, some
psychologically and most physically since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

When states have dared to fight to regulate the abortion industry in the same manner that any other surgical facility is regulated, Planned Parenthood has fought tooth and nail to keep their facilities in squalid conditions. Citing
a lack of access to women of color, as they did in the Hellerstedt v. Whole Women's Health case, they refused to raise their clinics to ambulatory surgical levels, and refused to meet requirements that doctors have admitting profiles in nearby hospitals.

It is time for another silent protest, first of the
government (for refusing to defund Planned Parenthood) and second, Planned
Parenthood who receives half a billion taxpayer dollars as they increase their
abortion business that is increasingly hurting women of color. On Tuesday,
August 1, 2017 join me in a silent protest. Ladies were white to commemorate
the innocence and lives of the babies Planned Parenthood slaughters in their
surgical centers. Men wear black to mourn the lives of the millions of Black
babies and their mothers that have died at the hands of a Planned Parenthood
abortionist. In every post on social media use the hashtag #endthegenocide

#YourHandsAreFullofBlood.

From 12 noon to 1:00 pm EST do not speak, and let us use
that hour to pray. First for the babies, then for their mothers, then for the
families that abortion has injured. Let us pray for an end to this scourge.

I received an email inviting me to participate in President
Trump’s “Listening to
America Survey to tell me the true sentiments, concerns, and interests of REAL
America”. I should have realized it was nothing more than a fundraising ploy,
but I did not and took some of my time to complete all the questions hoping
against hope that someone might truly read it and “listen”. After all, the tag
line of the email was “why don’t they EVER listen”.

During his campaign, President Trump pledged “ to do everything I can to continue that promise of freedom
for African-Americans”. He has a huge opportunity to keep that pledge.

There is a systemic evil running amok in America’s political landscape.
This evil specifically allows the targeting of women of color. Members of the
American government, both Congressmen and Senators seemingly are okay with the
targeting. They appear reluctant to reallocate the federal dollars the
organization receives. This reluctance is growing into resistance as the
organization calls in the many political favors they have spent years
cultivating. So confident are they that their lies of reproductive justice are
being accepted, they have come together and called on elected officials whose
campaigns they underwrote to prosecute the undercover journalist who exposed
the seedier side of their business - the selling of baby body parts. So confident are they, they readily signal
the nation they are eliminating the weeds their founder identified when she launched
the Negro Project in 1939. “Lack of access to reproductive healthcare” has
become just as dark as the Black code tht ruled the land for more than 90 years.

Their aging abortionists are sending more and more women to area
hospitals for emergency care. They refuse to report the many sexual predators
who escort their underage victims and sex trafficked victims into abortion facilities to abort the
evidence of sexual abuse. Their nurses quit for fear of losing their licenses
because of the squalid conditions found in their centers. When inspected,
states find them failing to meet even basic medical standards such as washing
their hands and sterilizing the instruments between procedures. And, they are
constructing larger and larger surgical facilities in communities of color,
carrying out their founder’s vital mission of controlling the Black birthrate.

They have withheld essential information from the women they are
targeting. They deny the link between abortion and breast cancer despite
numerous studies that confirm it from around the world including China the
world’s abortion capital. Today one in eight American women have breast cancer,
a fact The National Center for
Biotechnology Information declares is an epidemic. They rarely if ever
discuss the 150 studies that confirm a link between abortion and premature
birth in subsequent pregnancies, even though premature birth is a direct
contributor to the increasing infant mortality rate. Black women are facing
extreme premature births (less than 27 weeks) in subsequent pregnancies.

Most, if not all of their customers are not aware of the numbers of women
that have died because of a botched abortion. Women like Cree Erwin, Tonya
Reaves, and Edrica Goode.

As Planned Parenthood grows more and more callous little black and brown
babies and sometimes their mothers are being sacrificed in the name of women’s
rights. President Trump if you are truly listening and truly committed to doing everything you can to ensure the
promise of freedom, you can start by stopping Planned Parenthood’s targeting. Urge
the Senate to reallocate the more than half billion dollars they receive.

Planned Parenthood
Pink: Mother’s Day Massacre and Beyond

Abortion’s underbelly is raw and oozing filth. Festering in
that underbelly are a host of unacceptable, even squalid facilities, that one
former abortion center worker says “even the demons in hell are not exposed
to”. Like others in America’s elite community, abortionists have no qualms in
experimenting on women of color – subjecting them to the same hazardous and squalid
conditions some claim were eradicated when abortion moved out of the back alley
and into the centers that dot Black and Latino neighborhoods.

One such experiment was the "Mother’s Day
Massacre” . Harvey Karman, an abortionist who faked his
medical credentials, created a device called the supercoil that International
Planned Parenthood paid him to test in Bangladesh. The experiment went awry and
women were injured. In 1972, Karman
joined Kermit Gosnell, who later ran Philadelphia’s house
of horror , to try the device on
American women. They bussed fifteen Black women in their second trimester of
pregnancy from Chicago to Philadelphia. Once there, the ‘super coil’ was placed
inside their wombs and nine of the fifteen were seriously injured. The
supercoil, according to testimony
to the grand jury in Gosnell’s 2013 murder trial, “…was a device that he and [Karman] were working on that was
supposed to be plastic – basically plastic razors that were formed into a ball. All
right. They were coated into a gel, so that they would remain closed. These
would be inserted into the woman’s uterus. And after several hours of body
temperature, it would then – the gel would melt and these 97
things would spring open, supposedly cutting up the fetus, and
the fetus would be expelled.”

Gosnell fled the country for a while, vacationing in the
Bahamas. Karman was prosecuted and did a short stint in jail for practicing
medicine without a license. In 2008 when he died, one Planned Parenthood
director celebrated him stating he did “more for safe
abortion around the world than practically any other person in the world.”
The fact that so many Black and Bangladeshi women were injured by his “invention”
was of no concern to the purveyors of abortion. As America ‘s elite has done in
most experiments on people of color (Tuskegee Syphilis Study 1932-1972; Puerto
Rican Cancer Study – 1931), they quietly pushed the story to the back burner and abortionists
continued plying their wares in squalid, unclean environments.

Planned Parenthood is one of those purveyors of abortion in
unclean, sometimes squalid conditions. They target women of color. Like Gosnell,
Planned Parenthood lures women of color into their facilities and their shoddy
healthcare has resulted in the deaths and serious injury of women who trusted
them with their “reproductive healthcare”. Once every few weeks, sidewalk
counselors and prayer warriors report the increasing numbers of patients
evacuated from a Planned Parenthood by ambulance: New York, Connecticut,
Missouri, California, Illinois, Michigan, to name a few. When states dare to
inspect Planned Parenthood facilities, many are cited for unsafe medical
conditions including failure to wash hands between procedures and failure to
sterilize instruments.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards spins a
narrative that women of color will be denied access to reproductive healthcare
if her organization loses the more than half billion dollars of taxpayer money
they receive each and every year. She repeatedly ignores the fact that 79% or
more of her surgical abortion facilities are located in the very neighborhoods
where these women live and many of them do not provide the healthcare she
claims these women will lose if taxpayer funds are reallocated. She ignores her own records
that reveal Planned Parenthood: reached a half million fewer clients in the
past six years; completed 60% fewer breast exams- less than 2% of America’s
breast exams; and completed 77% fewer pap tests – less than 1% of America’s pap
tests.

The only area where services
increased have been in abortion - they perform almost 35% of them. Planned
Parenthood has masqueraded in the cloak of women’s rights for far too long.
Their services are steeped in abortion’s underbelly, and many of them operate
in conditions just as squalid as those found in Kermit Gosnells’ house of
horror. As the mother’s day massacre continues in Planned Parenthood abortion
chambers across the nation, Black and Latino women must beware – their very
lives and reproductive health depends on it.
